BARG Monographs

I’ve got copies of the superb monographs for the Wyvern and Skyraider at home as produced by the Blackbushe Aviation Research Group in the mid seventies, but did they produce any others for different types?

Thanks Robert. Thought I had seen one or something like it on the Scimitar !

Have you heard of one being released on the Supermarine Scimitar by chance?

The original No1 not No1(S) was the Scimitar, produced about 1970. I have one in store along with various drawings and cuttings from magazines and the Contrail Kit drawings.

Excellent thank you. It looks like they upped the quality and look of the earlier numbered issues even though they were released later in 1974 – 75.

The Beverley (1970) and Meteor monographs were very basic productions:

Thank you DCW. It seems the TSR.2 issue is now considered rare to find, but I cant say I’ve ever seen the Beverley or Meteor ones either.
Can anyone supply a pic of the covers as I’m curious!? 🙂

No 3 was ‘Royal Navy Instructional Airframes’ circa 1978. This series was marketed as ‘Super Monographs’ since an earlier series existed. I have:
No.3:Blackburn Beverley
No.5:AW Meteor TT.20
(both undated)

These were No’s 1 and 2 and it would now appear that No 4 was for the TSR.2. Any ideas about No 3?
